The weekly question....
-
OK OK, after the beer question and the breakfast question, there is one thing that I am really intrested in: What hobbies do CPians have (exept beeing a CPian of course ;) ...) ??? My main hobby is beeing a firefighter, and when I look at the time I spend on our station, it's more than a hobby.... Another thing is making videos (producing semi pro documentation like my wedding.. :rolleyes: ) So, what do you do in your spare-time?

Olli wrote: That sounds very intresting Believe me, Hinduism is so complex even we Hindus don't know much about it. :-O In fact, there are many practices we follow that are now fashionably ridiculed as superstition, but (almost) all of them have meaningful origins- it's just that not many poeple know the origins of those practices. At the risk of being called a Hindu fanatic (which I'm not), I'll point you to www.hinduism.co.za , which has been talked about a lot in the Lounge. No, I didn't see Indiana Jones, so I don't know what you're talking about.

Huh? Like what? Now don't give me examples to "prove" your point. Give me solid reasons why superstitions are justified, and even if we agree for a moment that they did have meaningful origins, the "meaning" was correct. And why we as an educated class we should stick to age old practices. Hinduism was a good religion as religions stand. But now it has become a concoction of casteism, superstitions and rule of the brahmins. And don't send me to websites either. You made a statement. It's your job to defend it, not the website's. If I want to argue with a website, I'll go there.

When I'm hanging out: 1. All but 1, 6, and 7 above 2. Golf and other sports 3. Movie theatre 4. Grotto (college bar) 5. Barbeque 6.

Sometimes I go hill walking to relax and a lot of the time I take the dogs for a long run in some fields near my house. I do a lot more but i'm too tired to recount them.
